Gameplay
Prop Cycle is a 3D, time-based flying game in which the player must use a human-powered aircraft to prevent the city of Solitar from floating away permanently by popping hot-air balloons.[2] The cycle is controlled by using pedals to spin the propeller and handlebars to steer left and right and change altitude.[1]
Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Prop Cycle on their August 15, 1996 issue as being the second most-successful dedicated arcade game of the year.[3] Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "in the final analysis, Prop Cycle's strengths win out over its weaknesses."[2]

gollark: Jerdle is Jerdle. No further questions are to be taken at this time on the subject.
gollark: And browers won't recognize them.
gollark: I mean, you *can* get top level domains, it's just hilariously expensive and subject to approval processes.
